A macabre evocation of obsessive love beyond the grave; a nobleman possessed by the soul of a servant girl; a man s mysterious phobia of the letter U; and the unexpected gift of everlasting life becoming a dreaded, endless curse - these are just some of the themes contained in this collection of Tarchetti's shorter fiction. The first Gothic tales published in the Italian language, Tarchetti's eerie stories recall those of the supreme writers of the genre: Edgar Allan Poe, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Mary Shelley.
Igino Ugo Tarchetti (1839-69) abandoned his military career to seek his fortune in literature. He wrote articles for diverse newspapers, some poems, several novels and became famous with his masterpiece Fosca.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : fine. First edition thus. First edition in English translation from the Italian. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 191 pp. With original illustrations by Jim Pearson. A collection of Gothic tales by Igenio Ugo Tarchetti (1839-1869) of which he is considered to be the first "modern" practitioner. According to an article by Lawrence Venuit (the editor and translator of this volume) in the Los Angeles Review of Books, Tarchetti had by 1866 established himself as a known literary figure in Milan. He wrote most of his Gothic tales in 1868 or early 1869, designing them to bait the bourgeoisie by leaving behind concepts of "good sense and decency to explore dreams, insanity, violence, and aberrant sexuality". His tales also challenged "scientific rationality by treating alchemy, spiritualism, and even popular legend with the utmost verisimilitude.". N° de réf. du vendeur E33945
